BLUES
CRUISE
• MEMPHIS
• NEW
ORLEANS
•
Then the
Legendary
Rhythm & Blues
Cruise.... my god
what a fantastic week!!!
As you will see from the
photos & video below the ship, the food and
the music was somethin' else.
The ship was full 5
star luxury with 8 floors, 8 elevators, marble
staircases, chandeliers & antiques
everywhere, countless places to drink,
reasonably priced booze and 5 music venues.
Scheduled music was form 11am each day till
midnight at at least 3 of the 5 music venues.
After midnight the Piano Bar was fun and the all
night jam sessions kicked in on one of the main
stages with sometimes up to 25 of the world best
blues musos on stage. 3 Mexican stopover turned
into 2 as we had to race a hurricane up the
coast of the last two days (the last day was
really rockin!... and I don't just mean the
music!!)
Anyhow here are some
photos and best of video
